How long? I'd think there would be danger of cooking the voice coils w/sustained high power.
30 seconds per sweep from 100 Hz down to 10 Hz.

Of course there is a risk but out of the ~60 subwoofers I have tested, not a single one has had a fried VC. The trick is to listen to the sound and look at the amount of compression.
